The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. The questioner asks:The questioner : He says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Ibn Hibban 58:24 So what is the meaning of the phrase: ?
The Shaykh : This is known from other hadiths. When the one who has cast the evil eye on another is identified, he is asked to perform ghusl, or to wash his clothes. He must comply with this request, because with the water in which he washed himself or washed his clothes, the one who cast the eye takes it and rubs it on his own body. This is part of the Prophetic medicine for the one afflicted by the evil eye. This is Prophetic medicine, which is unknown in terms of knowledge and neglected in terms of practice. Perhaps its neglect in practice has some excuse due to the difficulty of identifying the one who cast the eye. An incident occurred during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and perhaps this incident was the reason for the coming of this hadith and similar ones. Two Companions went out of the city and came to a lake of water. One of them undressed and went down to bathe or swim. The other was pleased with his physique. He barely looked at him with that look before the one in the water was seized, as if he had been struck by jinn possession. The man quickly took him to his family. They came and recounted his story to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said to them: They said: “We do not suspect anyone except the one who was with him, this man.” Here, who is identified? The one who cast the eye. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him—I do not remember the full story now—either to wash the edge of his garment or something like that, and to rub the body of the afflicted person with it.
The questioner : He performs wudu...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : The one who cast the eye performs wudu, collects his wudu water in a vessel, and then pours it from behind the back.
The Shaykh : It could be this, or it could be another type. In any case, I said earlier that I do not recall it now. The important thing is that, meaning if you are asked to perform ghusl, agree and do not refuse, because this is the Prophetic medical treatment. Yes.
The questioner : Does he not wash his body, meaning he only washes the clothes?
The Shaykh : I do not recall the details.
The questioner: May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The evil eye is a reality, and if anything could precede the divine decree, the evil eye would precede it. And if you are asked to perform ghusl, then perform ghusl, or wash.
العين حق ولو كان شيء سابق القدر لسبقته العين ، وإذا استغسلتم فاغتسلوا أو فاغسلواAnd if you are asked to perform ghusl, then wash.
